As a nation, I think we can all be a bit too pessimistic at times. True, there are many things that are wrong with our country, that need resolving, but there are more things that are right and great about England. I believe that England would be a much happier place if a sense of community was re-established on our streets and neighbourhoods. I love how villages are one large social club - everyone knows each other, and a simple "hello" when walking down the street is enough to brighten up my day altogether. Really, it the small gestures that really make a difference.
I know I try to be pleasant to people as I walk down the street, and since I have been at University it has re-assured me that there are still come people who are pleasant and willing to talk. Each time I go into University I catch a bus, and I find myself speaking to people I have never seen before in my life. But we are happily chatting, and for me that is great.
If we could all be friendlier and more community-related, I think we would all be in a happier place.
